I study <mark style="color:$primary;">Human and AI Decision-Making in Cybersecurity</mark>:

* <mark style="color:$primary;">Computational models of Human</mark> (attacker, defender, and end-user) <mark style="color:$primary;">Cognition</mark>,
* <mark style="color:$primary;">Practical AI agents</mark> (for autonomous cyber defense and adversary emulation),
* <mark style="color:$primary;">Complementary Human-AI Teaming paradigms</mark> that bring together the best of both worlds.

My research is driven by <mark style="color:$primary;">real-world network security challenges</mark> and fueled with <mark style="color:$primary;">interdisciplinary</mark> methods from game theory, reinforcement learning, cognitive science, and user research.
